I am experimenting a bit with open baffles and lower Q drivers. I know, not ideal. But, I plan to roll off the bottom end to a woofer in the end anyway, so I'm not concerned about lower bass.

So my question is, if I were to purchase a handful of resistors to experiment with, what kind would I get? I was looking at Parts Express, and there are a variety of different kinds available, such as this list:

Any thoughts are appreciated! I'm working with the FE166ESR and the FE168E Sigma at the moment and will most likely decide between them for the final project. Note that I'm not trying to get any real bass out of them, just balance them out a little.

I'll post thoughts once I spend a little time with them. Thanks for your help.

Whatever the wattage the drivers can take, I would recommend using twice that rating. My gut feeling is use inductive. The different way non-inductive resistors are made may have adverse influence unless you know exactly how they are layed out internally.
